"Data Plane" or generally the actual data transfer needs to be explicitly set out of scope #22

As I understood, the part (edc speak) of data planes is out of scope for the specification. As I also learned (outside of IDSA) this is not clear to everyone. Therefore, this needs to be emphasized in the introduction to make this an explicit statement.

We might want to explain this in the introduction there is the sentence (see #24)

These specifications do not define wire protocols for data transfer. Instead, these specifications are designed to work with existing and future wire protocols that facilitate moving data between autonomous systems.

The wire protocol sounds like copper, so reference the OSI model.
